I was reading a topic in a forum(not lowyat) about s8/+, its about the realesed date for android o which is schedule late in feb and early of march depends on regions. Some folks there mentioned that note 8 only gonna receive its update after the s8, not sure how true is that.
*
S8 Oreo is scheduled to be released at the end of Feb. It's confirmed now. Can read the related news via google.

Note 8 Oreo most likely will come along, if not, right after S8 Oreo. So. Ya. Our note 8 Oreo will be released on March, if we are lucky. The worst, I won't be surprised at all if we get it in April. Given the fact that sme is always one of the slowest when it comes to update.

How much did you pay for it? Did they give you the 20% promotional offer?
*
Discount only limited to pavilion new store la.

Speaking of the new store in pavilion, anyone planning to go there and get the free sp? Only limited to 150 customers per day until 18 Feb.

SP as in screen protector tempered glass or screen protection warranty? Hahaha

It's screen protector. According to the people in s8 thread, they said it's good stuff. Got some specialists waiting at there and they will apply the sp for you. You just need to walk in and show them your Samsung phone.

I am surprise that no one mention this in note 8 thread. May be because everyone already applied sp so not bother with that offer?

I see.

Someone showed the link but not much discussion on the free SP. I went there to buy screen crack warranty but didn't ask them about it. Lol. I don't like SP and I thought it was the cheap one with rubbery feel.
*
Haha. My take on this is Samsung is acting too late on this. They supposed to do this promotion during the launching month of Note 8. Now already almost 5 months. The old users sure won't bother with it. Only the new buyers will consider this. Typical Samsung tactic. Always comes out with those late promotions to attract potential buyers. For example, wait for few months later, the blue color sure will be released before Note 9 comes out. tongue.gif

just bring note 8 there can get alr? AP set can get or not.
ok I just read the promotion, only 50 per day can get, and seems AP also can get since they didn't state. wonder if lunch time can make it
*
If your current location is near to the store, then I don't see why you shouldn't try. Please do update us after you applied the SP. Curious to know what's the quality of the SP they are promoting.

Going to purchase note 8 but wonder Malaysia version using in house chipset heard any problems until now ? Thanks a lot

Exynos version so far so good. Theorically its battery life is better than Snapdragon version. However, if you are a hardcore gamer, you should consider Snapdragon version since Adreno 540 is better than Mali-G71,

can you just disable game launcher?

luckily i'm not sign in the game launcher so i'm not facing this issue
*
The game launcher is disable since the beginning. There's an option under the advance feature setting, to let you to enable or disable the Game Launcher.

So i'm planning to get Samsung Gear S3 Frontier. Anyone can share:

- recommended shop to buy SG s3 frontier

*
- either samsung stores or online platform.

However, it will be difficult for you to find SGS3 in Samsung stores nowadays. Most of them are promoting SG Sport. Meanwhile, the stock in online shops are also becoming lesser and lesser nowdays. You need to be fast on this if you decided to go for it.

You guys use immersive mode / full screen mode where the navigation bar at the bottom auto hide? I love how it looks as it maximises the whole screen and the bezels appear even slimmer. But the downside is that swiping up to bring up the navigation bar gets tiresome after a while. I try to go straight to home screen with pressure sensitive in the middle at the bottom but most apps use that area to launch new command or post new things. Lol. Also when I'm browsing using s pen, it won't be hard enough to trigger the pressure sensitive thing.
*
Haha. What to do? That's the major disadvantage of on-screen navigation bar.

As for the pressure sensitive middle bottom point, can go to the setting and adjust the sensitivity pressure level according to your own prefference..

Btw guys, looks like Samsung is getting their ass up on the Oreo update.

http://www.techradar.com/news/samsung-gala...rts-rolling-out

Nevertheless, it's a good news that it is earlier than the scheduled plan (end of Feb). Now let see how long we will wait before it reaches to our shore.

Yeah, that is cool. Waiting for an update to enable the Note 8 to record 4k 60fps. Read before that our hardware is capable, just need Samsung to roll out the software for the magic to happen.
*
Oh. That one I think won't gonna happen anytime soon. Because the Snapdragon version don't have such capability, so most likely Samsung won't open that feature for exynos. If not, the Snapdragon users will be rage. That's what I heard from the news la.

What's the SOT? If you on the screen for 53 mins, then yes, it's normal.

1 hour ++ only and battery juice already 40++ %? That's very bad.

What's your brightness percentage? Did you use 4g data all the time? How is the signal strength in your place? Did you play a lot of games or YouTube videos? Those are the common factors that would affect your battery life.

I never off below settings.
Wi-Fi, mobile data, Bluetooth, location, and auto sync. AOD set at morning till midnight 12am.

Then this is it. That's why your sot is so low. Then I guess it's pretty normal since you open all the data and sensor all day long. But I think it's OK afterall it still can serve you one full day. Just need to full charge your phone every morning and you are good to go.

Just want to tell you guys that S8 already received their Oreo last night, in Malaysia. Envy right? But no need to be jealous. Apparently this Oreo update got bugs, causing some users facing bootloop problem after update. And today Samsung already pulled off the OTA update. I guess they were too rush on this. Thinking from a brighter side, it's good to let them iron it out by testing it on S8 first. We certainly don't want the same thing happen to our Note 8. icon_idea.gif

But I thought S8 Oreo was in beta for quite some time before they release globally?

Ya it was. But somehow they screwed it up. So far SME set only 1 case based on the feedbacks in S8 thread. Meanwhile in Taiwan, there's more than 10 cases where the phone itself keeps bootlooping after the update. Some of them have to send their phones to SC, which causing them probably won't be able to get it back before CNY.

Edit: 1 case in S8 thread.
